There are 3 version of the game in Japan (2013, 2014, 2015). I played the 2015 Version about an hour and I liked it a lot. I never played this version (2013) but i think its a good decision from Teyon to bring it to the west.

To share controllers isn't a new Idea. Wheelspin for Wii allows 8-Player-Split-Screen-Multiplayer with multiple controller options; or the old Micro Machines on Snes. But the overload, the "ColourMaster"-Mode ... day one!

Unfortunately oversexed females aren’t a new problem at Nintendo. The last years Wii U Exclusives Trailer (23rd Aug 2013) had a low-angle-shot form Bayonetta with spread legs and her unambiguous comment: “No one said you could touch!”

@HugoSmits Tappingo could be more than a simple time waster! The colour-mixing mechanics sounds interesting and brings a little more complexity to the formula. There is already a nice little colour-mixing match-three puzzler for Nintendo DS (Blend-it/Splash!) out there in Europe.

In comparison to fast-paced puzzle games, the challenge of logic puzzle games isn’t the speed, it is the complexity. Tappingo has solid mechanics but it is missing complexity. If I compare the complexity of Tappingo with other logic puzzle games like Illust Logic + Colourful Logic or Pic Pic it needs at best a few minutes to master the difficult levels inset of a half a hour or more… I hope the zoom mode would help to create bigger, especially more complex, puzzles. Tappingo isn’t a full price retail game, so 8 hours are a solid playtime, but it is 100x 5 Minutes inset of a real challenge.
If I look at the three screenshots, I don’t see the different background colours, I see three times an extremely easy to solve logic puzzle. In my opinion the soul of puzzle games are the mechanic and the complexity or speed… not background colours!

The Wiiware Version has some frustrating adaptations to the PSN Version: Multiplayer, backgrounds …As a “Nintendojuenger” I bought it on WiiWare, but I still prefer the Version on the Data East Arcade Classics.

What I expect from Renegade Kid:Target: $80’000 - Renegade Kid Game gets a digital release in the USStretch Goals:$160’000 - Cartridge release in the US$200’000 - Gold cartridge in the US (homage to super famicom)…$250’000 digital European release

I’m a little disappointed from the puzzle-complexity, only 30 bubbles in 4/5 different colours - the most combos are created by dropping blocks from outside. In comparison to Puzzle Quest 64/7 or my favourite Puzzle Quest Galactrix 55/6 the opponents don’t use the bubbles, so you don’t have to anticipate their turns.

@kimimi Does the puzzle-mechanic from Puzzle & Dragons Z will get more complex and tactic?

I like this disproportionate advertising „Game Boy had Tetris, Nintendo DS had Picross. Now 3DS players get their puzzle craze called Tappingo!“

… they forgot, Picross is a Game Boy Game too (Picross, Picross 2)… DS has more than 500 Puzzle-Games and some of them with newer concepts similar to Tappingo, like Link-a-Pix (Pic Pic)… there are already a ton of Puzzle Games on 3DS, like Bomb Monkey… and my favourite – the line of ancestors: Tetris, Picross, Tappingo

Aside the promotion, I think Tappingo looks good and for me it is a day-one download.

"For example, we completed about five full areas with ease then happened upon a stage that took nearly twenty attempts to beat"

There are 9 different magical classes with different spells in the game (you could choose them by building the right structures). To notice this little “RPG-element” will help a lot – I played it (European Version) for more than 13h and nearly never died. I had about four glitches in the whole playtime. In my opinion Jewel Adventures is a “good” game – 7/10

In my opinion is the name of the group „BYTEKRIEGER“ much better than the game itself.

I am also not very impressed by the new GoodbyeGalaxyGames-game Tappingo – seems to be really familiar to the fantastic Drawing-Mode from Pic Pic – not that innovative it is promoted. I like logic puzzle games and the other games from Hugo, so I will give Tappingo a chance.
